Setting document preferences in LibreOffice changing to superscript

Hello,

I am a novice with both Scrivener and Zotero (and LibreOffice for that matter), and I am not tech savvy either. I have followed a few different threads trying to get these programs as synced as possible with the ODF scanning/ Scannable Cite feature. A major reference that I used was the YouTube video by David Gee (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WO116kjtUow).

I can compile the document into ODT; I can do the ODF scan and create a cited document; but the last step of the procedure to change into my preferred format does not seem to work. When I "Set Document Preferences" trying to change it to AMA style, it changes the citation to simply a superscript number, and the citation seems to disappear. Any idea how I can remedy this?

I'm using Windows 10 if that's relevant.

Thanks!

PS, on the video the Zotero plugin on LibreOffice had icons, and mine has the menu options spelled out in words. Any way to get mine to display the icons?

    That actually means it's working correctly. AMA citations _are_ just numbers in the text. The only step you're missing is to put the cursor where you want the reference list and click the "Add Bibliography" button to add the bibliography with numbered references.
